Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Neutron Vision at Los Alamos: Exploring the Frontiers of Nuclear Materials Science
In materials science, understanding the unseen—how materials behave internally under real-world conditions—has always been key to developing new materials and accelerating innovative technologies to market. Moreover, the tools that allow us to see into this invisible world of materials have often been game-changers. Among these, neutron imaging stands out as a uniquely powerful method for investigating the internal structure and behavior of materials without having to alter or destroy the sample. By harnessing the unique properties of neutrons, researchers can uncover the hidden behavior of materials, providing insights essential for advancing nuclear materials and technologies.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Innovation
Monday, August 5, 2024|1:30–3:00PM EDT|Banyan 1
Innovation today comes from many sources and takes a variety of forms. We’ve comprised an expert panel who will provide innovation insight from their organization’s perspective. These include participants from commercial nuclear sites, non-nuclear organizations, and strategic vendors. Topics include Innovation over the long term – Insights from customer perspective in reinventing itself for sustainability, developing a Roadmap for Effective Modernization from commercial nuclear utility CNO perspective, transformational insights from a non-nuclear perspective, innovative lessons learned in the process of re-starting a commercial plant, and the benefits as well as lessons learned from the implementation of digital twins. The panel members will provide introductory insights into each of their innovation strategies as well the expectations for their organization and then provide a forum for open questions and answers.
